61. The Third Q&A

Frej and Victor both tackled a marathon last weekend and boy, do they have stories! In this week’s episode, the boys spill the beans on their epic race adventures from New York and Auckland. One of them just had the week of a lifetime, while the other… well, let’s say it wasn’t exactly one for the highlight reel. Running life is full of highs, lows, and everything in between. But quitting? Not an option. Good stuff!

He came to visit the podcast booth to tell us about his race, his training and we get some insight into how it is to be the most promising running prospect in the country!

53. The St Moritz Report Pt. I

In the final episode of the year, we reflect on the lessons 2024 has taught us. We discuss the risks of quitting mid-session, explore the best methods for strengthening your mental game, and share strategies for coping with pain. Andreas opens up about how Victor’s comment—“I need to have more fun”—struck a chord with him. We also dive into what Runners FM is truly about and outline the path forward to make that vision a reality.
